Quake 4: An Earth-Quake to Hit 360
Company: Activision

What can you say about Quake that hasn?t been said before? One of the best first-person shooters is blasting its way onto the Xbox 360 and it looks fabulous. Player models will probably scare the crap out of someone who unknowingly walks around a corner and peers at your TV without knowing you?re playing a game.

In Quake 4, you?ll be battling for the survival of Earth in a war of the worlds showdown between the Rhino Squad and the Strogg. You?ll end up behind enemy lines by first fighting the Strogg, then becoming one. You and you alone will have the ability to turn the tide of the war in Earth?s favor.

The level design of the Quake series has always been one of the best in the business for multiplayer maps. Quake 4 promises to be no less by building on that same great formula. And since the game is based on the Doom 3 engine, fans of that series will be right at home, lying in the dark shadows.

While Quake 4 will contain what looks to be an excellent single player campaign, we all know that gamers will be buying this gem for its intense multiplayer action. Whether you play against your friends in the same room, link consoles for a LAN party, or head onto Xbox Live, there?s just something about the great feeling you get when you?re head to head with other gear heads like you.
